I just setup at K-1948. I'll be on 20m SSB for a while. Trying out my new solar panel, and the DX Commander Expedition, I won from @ham_coffee Coffee and Ham Radios.

I have so many different #radios that it is easy to forget even simple things like configuring a PL tone for a repeater. So, I saved the URL to an online owner's manual on an #NFC sticker. Every little aid helps. #RadioShack #HTX202 #hamradio
ALT A NFC sticker holds a URL that when scanned by a phone, will prompt a browser to open and access the owner's manual of the radio. This relies on internet access but it's better than nothing.

I used my 100ah battery box to run my refrigerator and my 20ah battery box to run fans, and my solar panels to kept them topped off. I'll take fans over radio all day long over playing radio when I don't have power in 90°+ weather I guess I could have said sorry family It's FD 🙄

AT&T is eliminating their email-to-text and text-to-email service. Jason @km4ack explains a workaround for #Winlink users and others. "We Are Losing This Service" youtu.be/TtkY1CiC_4o?si=DVUs… via @YouTube

I know I don't have a ton of videos yet, but I'm trying to hit at least 50 subs so I can go live on YouTube! If you have a chance I would love a subscription to help me out. #amateurradio #hamradio #hamateurhour youtube.com/@HamateurHour
Everyone needs to get 2 friends licensed and have them get 2 friends licensed.
As you can see, as of yesterday, the FCC says that we now have 745,000 ham radio operators in the United States. This is 10,000 less than we had in 2018.
Big Brother Google is not my friend today because I spent the last 30 minutes trying to find the number of #hamradio operators for each year between 2019 and 2024 and cannot find it from a reliable source. If you can find the total number of US ham radio operators for each of those missing years, please post it here.

It’s official: I am officially an Extra Class operator in the FCC database. My next goal is to obtain my GMRS license.
